There are times when someone needs to come out and call things as they see them. This was the case during the Oilers pregame show on 630CHED when prominent Oilers insider Bob Stauffer gave an direct shot to Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse.
The 29-year-old has been a polarizing figure with the Oilers after he signed on of the most lucrative contracts in Oilers history which stands 74 million over 8 years with a full no move clause. This puts his cap hit at 9.25 million AAV which means to fans a high standard of play to earn those kinds of dollars.
Soon afterwards, It seemed that someone was listening as Nurse had his best game in the last 25 as he scored 2 goals as his team shutout the Penguins 4-0 .
This is the kind of performance that fans are expecting and it will be important he continue as the team closes out their season and be ready for round 1.
